(DC Pundit) – For decades, America’s most prestigious universities have been cashing checks from some of the world’s most hostile foreign governments — and doing so with barely a whisper of accountability. Thanks to the Trump administration, that party may finally be over.

Newly released Department of Education data reveals that U.S. higher education institutions have accepted a staggering $72.1 billion in foreign funding since federal disclosure requirements took effect in 1986. In 2025 alone, colleges and universities reported roughly 8,300 foreign transactions totaling $5.2 billion. Let that sink in for a moment.

The biggest all-time foreign donor was Qatar at $8.8 billion, followed by China at $6.8 billion, Germany at $4.9 billion, Saudi Arabia at $4.4 billion, and England at $4.3 billion. In 2025 specifically, Qatar accounted for $1.1 billion, while China contributed $528 million. Harvard has accepted $4.5 billion in foreign funding since 1986, Cornell $4.2 billion, Carnegie Mellon $3.9 billion, MIT $3.7 billion, and the University of Pennsylvania $2.9 billion.

It gets worse. Nearly $405 million was transferred to American universities by foreign entities that have been sanctioned by the U.S. government — including Russia’s Skolkovo Foundation and multiple Chinese institutions tied directly to the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army, such as Huawei Technologies and Sun Yat-sen University. So the same universities hosting “social justice” seminars and lecturing everyone about American foreign policy were quietly pocketing cash from communist China and sanctioned Russian entities. Remarkable.

President Trump moved to confront this mess directly, signing an executive order last April requiring full transparency on foreign influence at American universities. The order declared that protecting America’s educational, cultural, and national security interests requires complete disclosure and an end to the secrecy surrounding foreign funds in higher education.

“The American people now have unprecedented visibility into the foreign dollars flowing into our colleges and universities — including funding from countries and entities that are involved in activities that threaten America’s national security,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated following the data release.

Since January 20, 2025, the Department of Education has launched four new Section 117 investigations into Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, UC Berkeley, and the University of Michigan. This mirrors the aggressive enforcement of Trump’s first term, which uncovered billions in previously unreported foreign funds — efforts that were quietly shelved during the Biden years. Shocker.

What the Trump administration has exposed is a national scandal decades in the making.

(DC Pundit) – Kamala Harris, the former Vice President who suffered one of the more memorable electoral defeats in political history, has apparently decided that losing the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump was merely a suggestion and not a reason to stop issuing declarations about what the President of the United States can and cannot do.

Harris recently announced that “we cannot allow” President Trump to appoint additional justices to the United States Supreme Court. Which raises one very obvious question: who exactly is “we,” and what authority does Kamala Harris have over anything at this point?

Her statement came in response to a New York Times piece featuring quotes from the far-left activist group Demand Justice, which is currently in full meltdown mode over the possibility that Trump could appoint not one, but two more justices to the nation’s highest court. Harris, apparently eager to show she’s still breathing politically, decided to chime in with her own declaration.

We must be clear eyed about what is at stake with the Supreme Court right now. We cannot allow Donald Trump to hand pick one, if not two, additional justices. The nation's highest court must be stopped from becoming even more beholden to him.https://t.co/RF8GJYwptz

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) April 3, 2026

Article II of the Constitution gives the President of the United States the power to nominate Supreme Court justices. The Senate confirms them. Kamala Harris, private citizen and failed presidential candidate, does not factor into that equation anywhere. Not even in the footnotes.

This looks like nothing more than a failed politician’s desperate attempt to stay in the headlines and signal to the radical left that she’s still their girl — presumably because another presidential run in 2028 isn’t entirely off her radar. Even many on the left have moved on and show little enthusiasm for whatever Harris has to say these days.

Trump won. He’s the president. He gets to nominate justices. That’s how the Constitution works, a document Harris presumably read at some point during her time in the Senate, though the evidence is thin.

(DC Pundit) – You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. In what may be the most perfectly on-brand government story to ever come out of California, Governor Gavin Newsom has reportedly dropped upwards of $20 million on a consulting firm — hired specifically to identify ways to cut government waste. Let that sink in for a moment.

Twenty. Million. Dollars. To find waste.

Here’s the thing — Newsom could have simply walked through his own state’s budget, identified the bloated programs hemorrhaging taxpayer money, and made the tough calls himself. California certainly has no shortage of material to work with. The state has struggled for years with skyrocketing homelessness, a crumbling education system, rampant crime in its major cities, and a mass exodus of residents and businesses fleeing to more sensible states like Texas and Florida.

But making those decisions himself would mean owning them. And owning decisions means facing accountability — a concept that California Democrats have been allergically opposed to for quite some time. By outsourcing the entire exercise to a high-priced consulting firm, Newsom gets to keep his hands clean while the base stays happy and the blame lands somewhere else. Classic.

Spending 20 million to cut fraud sounds like fraud. https://t.co/nijg6T176T

Newsom has long positioned himself as a competent, forward-thinking alternative to conservative governance. And yet here we are, watching the man spend $20 million to locate waste in a state he’s been running for years.

Here’s a wild, cost-free suggestion, Governor: if you really want to cut wasteful spending, perhaps the first item on the chopping block should be the $20 million consulting contract.

(DC Pundit) – If there’s one thing President Trump has made crystal clear over the years, it’s that he expects results from the people he puts in position. So it probably shouldn’t come as a massive surprise that reports are now swirling about his frustration with Attorney General Pam Bondi and her handling — or mishandling — of the Jeffrey Epstein document release.

According to both the New York Times and CNN, Trump has been discussing the possibility of replacing Bondi with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. That’s a significant shake-up, if it happens.

To his credit, Trump kept things diplomatic when CNN asked him directly about Bondi’s status. “Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” the president said in a statement. Translation: nothing to see here — for now.

But behind the scenes, the New York Times reports Trump has grown genuinely frustrated with Bondi’s leadership at the DOJ, and honestly, it’s not hard to understand why. The Epstein document rollout has been nothing short of a disaster from start to finish.

The Justice Department began releasing batches of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking cases following a federal judge’s order in New York. President Trump had already signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law specifically to ensure full transparency on this case — a promise he made to the American people.

What they got instead was a mess. Some files arrived so heavily redacted they were practically useless. In other instances, the DOJ swung the pendulum too far the other way, failing to redact the names of actual sex-trafficking victims. To top it all off, Bondi drew sharp criticism after claiming she had personally reviewed “tens of thousands” of Epstein videos — a statement that raised more questions than it answered.

The American people deserve the full truth about Epstein. Whether Bondi is the right person to deliver it is apparently a question Trump himself is now wrestling with.

(DC Pundit) – New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — the city’s newest socialist experiment in municipal governance — has unveiled a shiny new “free” childcare program for city workers. The catch? It’s only free if you’re the one receiving it. For everyone else holding the bill, that price tag lands at nearly $60,000 per child. Per year.

Welcome to the leftist shell game, folks. Nothing is ever free. Someone always pays — and that someone is you, the taxpayer.

The New York Post reported that “Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the opening of a new daycare center for municipal workers Monday that will cost more than double the average price of child care — to a tune of nearly $60,000 per kid.”

Making matters worse, Mamdani said the Adams administration didn’t allocate operating funds for the center, which would carry a $2.3 million price tag and will be folded into the city’s upcoming executive budget. Doing the math, that works out to $57,500 per child to attend the daycare from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

$60K per kid

😂

And let’s be crystal clear — this is just the rollout. Anyone with a functioning memory and a passing familiarity with government programs knows costs never go down. They only balloon.

This is the same tired playbook progressives have been running for decades. Slap the word “free” on a program, get the applause, then quietly hand working-class taxpayers the invoice. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who previously served in the New York State Assembly, has made no secret of his far-left ambitions for the city.

It sure looks like Minneapolis all over again — same playbook, same promises, same predictable financial disaster waiting to happen. New Yorkers would be wise to watch closely, speak loudly, and hold onto their wallets with both hands.
